Best Fullest Poems
Live life
to the fullest
for it is very short,
we must not be afraid to take
chances so opportunities aren't missed
that can change us for the better
so then were not held back
or even felt
left out

Live Life To The Fullest, Dare To Be Brave
Live life to the fullest, dare to be brave
Birth destines us unto the lonely grave
Between that moment that first gasping breath
Comes a bevy of gasps until our death
Shall we seek much more, stirring well life's stew
From heart and soul, ask for wisdom anew.
In that dance, upon sweeter seas set sail
Knowing knights never find the Holy Grail
In that knowledge accept Hope and its glow
Measure your true worth, live not just for show
Fight the world, attack its savage decrees
Speak, write, and plead your prayers on bended knees.
Wake to morn, rejoice in the break of day
If lost, strive to proceed another way.

The sands of time are falling away
Make sure to make the most out of each and every day
Release all of your hate and conqueror your fear
Don’t have regrets and have time for cheer
Treat everyone around you as you want to be treated
Accomplish everything you can before it’s all completed
Raise your hands and raise your glasses
Enjoy your life before your just ashes
Laugh and love with family or a friend
Live life to the fullest before it’s the final end
Forget the past the future isn’t set
Make love not war as much as you can get
Don’t back down from anyone but strive towards peace and harmony
Turn the other cheek when you can and be the best you can be
Be charitable and help for fellow man
Fill yourself with knowledge whenever you can
Raise your hands and raise your glasses
Enjoy your life before your just ashes
Laugh and love with family or a friend
Live life to the fullest before it’s the final end
Dare to be different go against the grain
Stop and smell the roses and always kiss in the rain
Listen to music read poetry for your own sake
Be true to yourself and never be fake
Take walks on the beach and swim in the ocean
Be thankful for what you have and pray to God in Heaven
Raise your hands and raise your glasses
Enjoy your life before your just ashes
Laugh and love with family or a friend
Live life to the fullest before it’s the final end
Take pictures so you can look back on your journey
Enjoy the arts sculptures paintings drawings or a movie
Give kisses and hugs to the ones you care about
Work hard and play harder before you check out
Go through life like it was your last day
Because it could be so enjoy it and make it count in every way

Going to bed earlier and earlier
The older this old guy gets
Soon won't need to get outta bed at all
Just lie there and smoke cigarettes
Hey hold on, my dear naughty fella
Smoking's forbidden in bed
Haven't you heard the hazard it creates
Why not shoot yourself in the head
Always wondered why old people napped
It's not a matter of choice
Could be watching a favourite show
Then wake to Cathie's voice
So now I know, there isn't anything else
Have lived my life to the fullest
Think I'll slink down and doze for a bit
To hell with getting dressed!

People have opinions about everything
It's our inalienable right I guess
To believe what we believe without outside influences
To discover with our very own eyes and heart
It's much more likely these facts will be retained
More than reading them in some ancient old manuscript
Living, investigating and researching the facts for ourselves
We learn by living through all of life's experiences
The good stuff, the bad stuff, the happy stuff, the sad stuff
But the moments that makes our hearts skip a beat
Are the most joyous moments as we walk through life
Watching the sun rise every morning
We never fail to be amazed by Mother Nature
Life is still the greatest mystery
How? Why? What does it all mean?
We don't need to know the answer to all of life's mysteries
We just need to enjoy them while we're here
And try our best to leave with the knowledge
“I've lived my life to the fullest”

Life is something we all share,
Just like oxygen, in the air.
The way we live it, is up to us,
With a negative or with a plus.
Life is something, we should cherish,
We never know, when we'll perish.
Live each and every single day,
Smell the flowers, stop and play.
Life is something, we've been blessed,
Choice is yours, choose your quest.
Follow your passions, and you'll be fine,
With the right attitude, you will shine

Live each day to the fullest
Before it all seems hopeless
Live each day as it comes
And that life can be dumb
Live each day as a new day
To make things go your way
Live each day with heart and soul
Even when the truth is untold
Live each day as a new way
To make the hurt go away
Live each day as happy and true
Even when you feel sad and blue
Live each day one by one
Before our days are done
Live each day as a challenge
As full as full as a gallon
Live each day is what i say
Since i am here to stay

To thee i am alive
Alive in a myre of bliss
Like a tender first kiss
Living away from it all
As it all passed by
From a bliss less lived
I find myself dead
In this line of poetry
I am confididing in
In a metaphore i feel
Feel is the best
Yet from my experience
I am not fully living
Living enough to call it enough
Twas why i might ask why
But why is not enough
The truth sticks out
Yet i live on.. As what?

Nature to its fullest
Is where all beauty lies
For flowers bloom and animals dance.
and I'm sure no one would say other wise.
I am one with nature
I will not lie
I hunt with the wolves
And sing with the birds
I dwell the dark forests
Where beauty is seen
A beam of light across the bright blooming narcissus flowers
Next to a large pond with silver fish gleaming in the water.
To this I ponder at what I see..
Why cant this be shared amongst us all?
My wonder is over when spot a panther in ivory black
Only to turn silver upon the moons brilliant light
Gleaming eyes turned towards me as i am doing the same
A single tint of sorrow in her eyes
For I see that she has but one cub, innocently playing with his mothers tail
For then I suspect that she lost all but one of her litter,
This is love of an animal with her cubs a loss that seems unbearable
Thus i think of every day society and am disgusted by those who kill their own
Just because of regret, how they put them in places to be left to die, to think about how
Painful it would be for an infant to die of starvation and thirst, a baby crying for love but
Unable to find it. then it dies, and the mother seems not to care... it sickens me to say how
This can be done.
But to most, i should add, morn for their baby's death,
And some cherish the arrival like peace on earth.
Why can't society become one?
Why must we endure such heartaches?
So many questions but not many answers,
But some should be left untold.
Mothers and fathers alike cherish birth like nothing better could happen.
Even as life gets harder, love is still the strongest emotion.
This is a poem of my opinion.
I hope to hear what your opinion is.

June's Fullest Moon
Full moon leads me home;
indigo is your halo!,

To all things futuristic
It's best to be realistic
Time is evanescent
But life is incessant
All are born of the same essence
To become a coalescence
To each imperfection
Make life's perfect projection
To love completely
Is to love entirely
To love with less
Is to live oppressed
Fear not the shadow upon your wall
Rather the life not lived to its all

I Was A Mad Old Racing Cougar In Fullest Flight
When the seething sun chased me into the night.
I was a mad old racing cougar in fullest flight.
I ran across the land, raced toward the moon
Into the arms of Indian maiden as she swoon
Bright night it was with a jubilant golden moon
Her radio playing all my favorite tunes.
When the seething sun chased me into the night.
I was a mad old racing cougar in fullest flight.
I left her village running into the big ole city
A very sad old fool chasing gold, what a sad pity
True, I was a rough hombre and even a bit gritty
A friend I was of Mickey Mantle and Walter Mitty.
When the seething sun chased me into the night.
I was a mad old racing cougar in fullest flight.

Optimize life’s gain
Grant of supply reign
Heaven cannot drain
As grand blessings flow
With gratitude glow
Warmed by God’s welfare
That grace and hope share
Showing blissful care…
Maximize life’s zest
Upward good works'* crest
Smiting selfish pest
Spreading kindness cheer
Hope, peace brightly clear
To smash doubt and fear
Fulfilling what’s right
For daily delight!
*Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

In the midst of striving with fate,
Searching for dreams that debate,
Here’s the reason not to be afraid,
To try harder and not hesitate.
They’re celebrating milestones in life,
The smile on their face shines, like winning in light.
With glittering eyes and curving lips so positive,
The dreams they’ve drawn are now real, fulfilled.
Crying isn’t always gloomy,
It means another life that shines brightly.
Thinking of a reason to live life to the fullest,
Genuine love as the light that brightest.
The laughter that brings others happiness,
The embrace that gives the feeling warmest,
A hug that touches the heart with faithfulness,
Eye to eye, sharing a love so pureness.
Every love in their flickering eyes,
Struggling sometimes, yet it’s the prize.
The mouth that opens unpredictably,
A heart that beats with excitement and warmly.
Realizing something—the want, not the need,
The so-called freedom offers another lead.
It’s about commitment, it’s about decision,
It’s about something in everything, bringing the conclusion.
